SETTING THE RECORD TIME

You can set the recording time to 1, 4, or An- nounce Only to determine how the TAD will record incoming messages.

At the 1 or 4 settings, the TAD plays the out- going message and lets callers leave a mes- sage up to 1 minute (or 4 minutes) long. At the Announce Only setting, the TAD plays the outgoing message but does not let call- ers leave a message.

1.Press MENU six times. The TAD announces “Record time” followed by the current setting. The display also shows the current setting (', *, or 7 Announce Only).

2.Press SET/RING.

3.Repeatedly press SKIP or REPEAT until the desired number appears.

4.Press SET/RING to store the setting.

5.Press STOP to exit.

SELECTING THE OUTGOING MESSAGE

The TAD has two prerecorded outgoing mes- sages. One asks the caller to leave a mes- sage: “Hello, no one is available to take your call. Please leave a message after the tone.” The TAD uses this message when the re- cording time is set to 1 or 4 (see "Setting the Record Time").

The other is simply an announcement and does not let the caller leave a message: “Hel-

lo, no one is available to take your call. Please call back another time.” The TAD uses this message when the recording time is set to Announce Only.

You can also record your own message (see “Recording/Deleting an Outgoing Message”). When you record your own outgoing mes- sage, the TAD uses it for all recording time settings (1, 4, and Announce Only).

To switch between your outgoing message and the TAD’s prerecorded message, press MENU once to enter the outgoing message setting mode. Then press SKIP or REPEAT until the current message starts to play. While the message is playing, press SKIP or REPEAT until the desired message starts to play. The TAD switches to the other mes- sage and plays it.

Recording/Deleting an Outgoing Message

Follow these steps to record your own outgo- ing message (up to 30 seconds long).

1.Press MENU once. The TAD announces “Outgoing message”, followed by the current outgoing message. ## appears.

2.Press MEMO/REC. The TAD announces “Record your outgoing message after the tone.”

3.When the tone sounds, speak your mes- sage. When you finish your message, press MEMO/REC, STOP, or SET/RING. The TAD plays back your message.

To delete your outgoing message and use the TAD’s prerecorded messages, press MENU once, then press DELETE when your message starts to play. The TAD announces “Deleted.”
